Ellen Black Winston:
It’s a very interesting thing, by the way, that while you work with a great many men and have very interesting and productive professional relationships with them, professional women tend to keep their contacts with each other.  After all, there aren’t too many of us, really.  And what you find is that your women friends, while you may have many that are friends for a variety of reasons, but your women professional friends are tremendously scattered, because they have gone off in other directions, just as you have.  But the tendency is to keep in touch with them, as time goes on.
